“Jaclyn has been exceptional with my Cane Corso Sasha. She is a genuinely kind and warm-spirited individual. As someone who is very particular about who cares for my beloved pet, I was truly impressed by how quickly and naturally my Sasha bonded with her—almost as if they had known each other for years. I wholeheartedly recommend Jaclyn to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver to look after their fur baby. She is truly heaven-sent and treats your pet as if they were her own.”


“Ashley did a great job with all my animals. She was caring, responsive, communicative, prompt, and patient. I will be using her to take care of my animals again! Highly recommend.”


“Kaitlynn was amazing! And all of the animals did great!”


“Taylor was very sweet and attentive to Minnie, just the TLC she needs as a 15 year old Maltipoo with a bit of separation anxiety. AND she even tidied the house! Great job! Will use her again!”


“We are so lucky to have found Carrie to watch our dogs when we are out of town. The dogs are so well taken care of and they absolutely love her. We absolutely love receiving photo updates of them throughout our trip.”


About: I love cuddling, baby talking, and playing with cats and dogs and giving them all the attention! I also have a soft spot for all animals. I work full time and am available weekday evenings and weekends. I am flexible and am willing to work with you and your schedule. I can do short notices. I have 1 cat that I just adopted that’s chill and friendly. Everyone in the house is an adult. In your place, I will make sure to accommodate any special needs. Your fur baby is safe with me.

“We’re very grateful for Anna house and pet sitting for us! She was a great communicator and was accommodating of our dog’s unique quirks. Also, she was quite considerate of our home. We look forward to utilizing her more in the future!”


About: I stand out because of my reliability, attention to detail, and experience caring for pets of all sizes. As a homeowner, I understand the importance of trust and security. I provide personalized care, whether it’s maintaining feeding schedules, giving companionship, or taking long walks. I’m also experienced in handling energetic pets and senior animals, ensuring they feel comfortable and safe. Happy Pets, Happy Owners! Tail-Wagging care while you're away. I’m highly dependable, organized, and communicative—so you can have peace of mind knowing that your home will be in great hands as well. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I’m available on all week days and weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide attentive care, whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or overnight stays. I prioritize each pet’s needs and schedule to ensure they get the attention and exercise they deserve. Owners can count on me to be reliable, responsive, and dedicated to their pet’s well-being. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets in their own homes. I follow all instructions provided by pet owners, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether I’m house sitting, pet sitting, or dog walking, I ensure pets feel secure and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I’m attentive to their behavior, provide companionship, and maintain a clean and safe space. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind, knowing their pets and home are in responsible, caring hands.

About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).

“Hannah was amazing with my 2 girls!! She updated me, sent pictures, and communicated great. My girls absolutely loved her and I was able to enjoy my trip knowing they were taken care of. Will definitely rebook with Hannah!”


“DeMya was amazing! We received pictures and updates. She was on yime and very consistant. We will definitely use her again.”


“Sarah was amazing! It's easy to tell when someone hasn't been around quite as much as you'd hoped, especially if you have a particularly anxious dog. However, it was evident that Sarah had spent a ton of time with our girl and took as good care of her as we do. I'd recommend Sarah to anyone in need of a dog sitter and definitely plan to book again in the future when in need of dog sitting services.”


“Absolutely adore Julia! My dog was so well cared for and I had 0 stress my entire trip. Book her book her book her!”


“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”

I didn’t worry about my home or dogs at all while on vacation. I love the daily video and photo updates of our dogs! I highly recommend!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs (and all kinds of pets!) for as long as I can remember. Growing up surrounded by animals and pet sitting for families in my community has given me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. From playful puppies to senior sweethearts, I’ve truly seen it all—and I love every minute of it. What sets me apart is not just my experience, but the genuine joy I find in building trust with animals and giving them personalized, loving care. Dogs are my favorite animals, and getting to care for them professionally feels like a dream come true. I'm patient, dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ve also cared for guinea pigs, fish, birds, and bunnies—so I’m happy to help with your non-canine companions too! Whether you’re heading out of town or just need an extra hand, you can count on me to keep your pets happy, safe, and loved. I'm a college student who has 2 full days of class on Tuesdays and Thursdays (8:00am-5:00pm), 2 half days of class on Mondays and Wednesdays (8:00am-12:00pm OR 1:00pm-5:00pm), and Friday off! When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it my mission to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Whether it’s playtime in the yard, peaceful walks around the neighborhood, or just snuggling up on the couch, I give each pet the attention, affection, and comfort they need while their family is away. I follow all feeding schedules closely and make sure they’re eating, drinking, and taking any necessary medications on time. I’m also happy to send photo or video updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve been dog sitting since high school, providing walks, feeding, and grooming for dogs. I currently live with an English Mastiff, whom I occasionally care for by feeding him and taking him on walks. I currently work part-time, giving me a flexible schedule to accommodate pet care needs. I’m available for bookings on both weekdays and weekends, including daily walks. I am highly schedule-oriented and prioritize ensuring pets feel comfortable and safe. I monitor their well-being closely, and if I notice any signs of discomfort, I promptly notify the owners. If a pet makes a mess, I clean it up and inform the owners.

“Presley is amazing! Our kitty’s first time being left alone overnight, and he is a very social boy. Presley took such great care of him he forgave us immediately for leaving him. Not even sure he noticed we left! We will definitely be calling on Presley again whenever we leave town!”


About: Had to make new account *** Hi, my name is Carson! I have been dog sitting for 10 years now. In high school I worked at Sidle Hill Farms (Dog boarding) in Southhaven, MS. I then gained clients and have been pet sitting from my home and others ever since. I have always dreamed of opening my own dog boarding and then remember I won't even take my own dog to be boarded! That is why I do what I do now, to nurture to love and to calm your pets nerves. I understand that it can be sometimes even more nerve racking for the owner then the pet... I am that owner! My husband Alex and I live in Oakland, Tn with a gorgeous fenced in yard as pictured. I work from home and usually never leave the house unless I go to Walmart up the street. We do not have any children and do not plan on it anytime soon! We are totally content with fur babies for now! A typical day at our home for your pet would include waking up in our bed, breakfast, mornings outside pending on weather (I have an outdoor desk), playing with millions of toys we can't seem to stop buying and of course when Alex comes home a walk around the neighborhood. We can't wait to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Dogs and cats are my whole life I care for them just as children. I love exercise and getting outside so pet care has come as a joy to me not just a chore. Dog walking, bathing, playing, co sleeping, cooking for pets if needed, taking them to groomers ect.. I am available to your pets needs as well as yours!
